Dear Yuletide

impala_chickHappy Yuletide! :D I'm so excited we matched. I tried to give specific fandom prompts to be helpful, but I am not expecting you to fill one of my prompts. As long as you avoid my DNWs, I would be excited to read any idea you want to write for our shared fandom. I read and enjoy all ratings of fic including PWP.
I am open to receiving treats!
My general likes include:
•Tropes: Angst with a happy ending, ambiguous endings, humor, banter, curtain/domestic fic with the characters working on their own relationship, accidental baby acquisition (of a human or non-human baby), mission gone wrong, outsider POV, fake news articles/interviews, rivals/enemies to lovers, battle couples, found family, snowed in, road trips, alternate first meeting, canon divergence AU, Space AU, professional sports AU, secret magical powers/magical realism AU.
•Darker themes, and characters that don't always make the "right" choices, and then have to deal with those consequences.
•Characters being surprised/annoyed at themselves for catching feelings for another character(s), and then pining for a bit. Bonus points if the characters are already in a friends with benefits situation.
•Characters who try to stay upbeat even when things aren't going great. I also like humor and crack treated seriously scenarios. Outlandish plots are okay when the characters are actually trying to navigate them.
•Bachelor/ette parties, or the OTP going to the wedding of another couple, or weddings/dates/proposals getting interrupted. Or characters meeting at a wedding? I just like wedding settings. Bonus points for found family being incorporated into the wedding or event.
•Getting dressed up for some kind of event or party, or characters "cleaning up well" when they don't normally get fancy. I love this scenario when it comes to undercover missions!
•Snowed in/Trapped together, or long road trips. The OTP could be trapped or on a road trip with other character(s) - how does that affect their dynamic?
•Discovering or communicating with ghosts or demons & exploring haunted houses/places. Making a demon deal or a deal with a witch, or using some kind of dark magic and getting more than you bargained for. I also like when the main character(s) is turned into a demon/ghost/supernatural thing, temporarily or permanently. I'm on board with a dark story line or horror vibes.
•Heist or case fic, like Ocean's style, or where some character(s) go on a mission to save other character(s).
•Body swap where the character(s) have to navigate a "day in the life" and realize there's a lot they didn't know about another persons' duties/job/position.
Fandom Specific Requests TBC
The Expanse
Jim Holden is one of my favorite characters on the show. I also love Naomi, Camina, and Chrisjen.
Roswell
I love this show and all of these characters. You could write any of the nominated characters (Liz, Maria, Max, Michael) or any ships with those characters (including OT3, OT4, and incest ships).
